The Look for Less - Valentino Rockstud Shoes

Please note that this post contains affiliate links and I may be compensated if purchases are made by clicking links.

Very few footwear styles have reached cult status like the Valentino Rockstud collection. The Valentino Rockstud heels are longtime celebrity and blogger favorites, and with good reason. They come in many colors and styles, and with their gleaming studs and patent leather finish, they strike the right balance between edgy and feminine. Furthermore, they work just as well with casual denim (as shown in red on Blair of Atlantic-Pacific) and shorts (as seen on Olivia Palermo) as they do with chic, flirty skirts (as demonstrated by Emma Stone).

Something about the studded trim has an appeal that's widespread and timeless. I scored a pair of T-strap flats on sale at Bluefly last fall.

June 22, 2017 update - If you're looking for studded gladiator sandals, I love the Sam Edelman "Eavan" style. I finally got a pair on sale (get 'em here under $60) in the desert tan colorway, and I love them for their comfort and their large circular studs. Shop the "Eavan" sandals on sale before they sell out.
